The city council of Phoenix voted September 11 to continue fluoridating the city's water supply. The vote concludes the Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee's consideration of the practice and effectively ends this round of debates over fluoridation in the city.

"This is absolutely a big victory for Phoenix," Kevin Earle, MPH, executive director of the Arizona Dental Association (AzDA), said in an interview with DrBicuspid.com. "The city will continue to fluoridate as it has since 1989."
